One of the main benifts of the smaller battery would be the anticipated weight savings. I have used up this point a high grade lead acid battery in the RR fender. Saving over 10-15 lbs certainly appeals to me. The smaller size would open up some options regarding where it could be mounted for better weight distribution. Currently it's mounted on a battery tray made of plastic. There is a hole in the bottom of the tray and in the fiberglass that the tray sets on. Any spillage in theory goes out the bottom but it has over time attacked some of the fiberglass although it is not serious.
at this time and has been repaired. The battery of which I speak could be mounted on its side if necessary. I guess my concerns are related more to durability in a street car that may have been experienced by some of you.
Just wondering..........Rick
